A shooting incident occurred at the Tor Kor gold market in Bangkok, Thailand, a popular weekend destination adjacent to the Chatuchak market. The suspect reportedly died by suicide following the attack. Authorities are investigating a potential connection between the shooting and ongoing border clashes between Thailand and Cambodia.
The incident took place in an area that experienced the collapse of a 30-story construction tower following a significant earthquake in late March, which affected both Burma and Thailand. Firearms are relatively accessible in Thailand, contributing to the occurrence of shootings in the country.
